Get a DeSalvo again?

I don't even know what that is, but it seems logical.

It is either a serial killer or a patsy, depending on which camp you fall into.

With the exception of Dolly Pardon of course.

Trying to decide if either Chattanooga bike is a keeper. I think a stem change would help with the Lynskey as it is quite a bit longer and flipped compared to the Litespeed. Still fairly aggressive for their non-aggressive model. I think I might keep the Litespeed as a flat pedal ride to breakfast bike and get rid of the Lynskey at this point.

Loaner Jones bike the shop dropped off for me to use while they work on finishing mine.

Riding on 3 inch tires set up tubeless with low air kind of feels like riding a full suspension bike on the street.

Moon lander effect!

 

Also, I don't know if you remember that time we went mountain biking in north Potomac, there was a group of guys on Jones. Remember the guys on the unicycles going up the trail?? Ha ha

Yep, those are rather practical if you just want to ride in any shoe. I ran something similar on my Trek 500 in the last year or so. Since switched back to eggbeater (also MTB). I had enough of walking on cleats in the '80's, thanks. :)

After 4500km this year I need to replace chain (Ultegra) and the front brake disc (XTR).

I ordered a Dura Ace chain and this: 

shimano-dura-ace-9170-road-disc-brake-ro

 

A friend said me that Dura Ace chain is not as strong as an Ultegra but I would like to test it. I usually change the chain between 4000-5000 kms.

I went to go "ride street" with a buddy yesterday. By "ride street" I mean I was going to go watch him jump stuff and ride around the city.

I got about 2/10ths of a mile before this.

I thought it was just a scratch, but a day later I realize it probably wasn't wise to go ride another 8-10 miles or so around town.

But, installed the new carbon bar.

No video of me crashing, but I did get video of me doing something I could have crashed badly on. Sadly I made it. Sorry, guys, I failed you.

**BRENT**
